Yesterday, Google announced some very good news for fans of Chromecast, the $35 media streaming dongle that helps folks easily get their photos, video and music onto their TVs wirelessly and efficiently. That news was that Chromecast?s public SDK is final and now available to any developer wishing to add Chromecast support to their apps.

You had to guess Koushik Dutta would be one of those apps. Koush has updated his AllCast app in the Play Store to finally support Chromecast again, a process which the renown developer says took just 20 minutes thanks to how the APIs have been built.

We?re glad to see Google held up their promise. The latest upgrade to AllCast can be found in the Google Play Store, but note that you?ll need Google Play Services 4.2.34 in order to use the Chromecast features. That version of Play Services is rolling out to everyone in a staggered fashion, so you?ll have to be patient if it hasn?t shown up yet.

Allcast is pretty sweet. Using the free version right now testing to see if I want to buy it. Streaming a MKV video now. No issues so far. Allcast seems to work better with CC than the X1. Smoother with CC. But my experience may not be the norm.
